Ratios and Proportions Problem

WALT: solve problems using ratios and proportion


To make 20  bags candy floss  3kg of sugar is needed. How much is needed to make 35 bags of candy floss?

In this problem I had worked out a problem by using ratios and proportion. The ratio that I compare was Candy floss to sugar.

CF   :    S
20    :    3
40    :    6

To solve this problem I have to use my division facts to solve it. By using this problem I used my 2 times table or my doubles.To get 40 I multiply 20 to 2 and to get 6 I also multiply by 2 which is 2 times 3 and that's how you get the answer 6.
